Danny Dyer returned to map his ancestral bloodline in new show Right Royal Family, which has potentially cooked up the best TV moment of the year already.

After discovering he’s a descendant of King Edward III on Who Do You Think You Are, Dyer has seemingly developed an interest in his royal heritage – hence the creation of new two-part primetime series Right Royal Family.

As you might expect, the show was littered with incredible quotes, whether having ‘scrolls coming out of my earholes’ or Danny being ‘regaled out my brains’.

Despite being dressed as a king and dabbling in eating sheep’s tongue, the greatest moment arrived when Danny channelled his 30x great-grandfather, William The Conqueror.

In the segment, Dyer climbed on a horse to joust an Anglo-Saxon in the form of a watermelon, with Cockney swagger in tow.
